Tactical Communication and Hearing Protection Headsets - The next generation of tactical headsets from 3MTM PELTORTM is here.
Hear the difference
PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI has new omni-directional microphones, high fidelity speakers, and a new digital signal processor that improves the overall sound quality of the headset.
These improvements result in a more natural sounding headset with sound and voice clarity designed for combat and combat support operations in complex acoustical environments.
The transmit microphone has been redesigned and embedded with patented 3M closed cell foam and delivers improved noise cancelling transmission in high noise and wind while also improving dust and water ingress protection.
The environmental listening feature
Also known as “talk-through” is a means of allowing safe audio sounds to bypass the individual hearing protection electronically while still helping protect against harmful noises. This is accomplished with 3M’s proprietary digital audio circuit integrated into the headset. A microphone receives the sounds outside of the headset and transmits them to a speaker inside of the headset. The level-dependent digital audio circuit senses noise levels above the desired threshold and compresses them to a safe decibel level or amplifies weak sounds to an audible level.
Mission Audio Profiles (MAP)
The 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI offers a new way to adjust the auditory settings of your headset for your mission. Traditionally, a headset has a set frequency response, and the operator can only increase or decrease the volume. The MAP function provides new advanced ambient listening modes that allow access to a variety of gain settings, but with frequency shaping, to enhance auditory performance in five conditions. The MAP Profiles have been designed with a variety of combat and combat support operations in mind.
3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI environmental listening function has been greatly improved by incorporating new omni-directional microphones and high fidelity speakers that can pick up sounds with great sensitivity and help replicate sound more clearly and accurately. Additionally, the new digital signal processing circuitry and new transmit microphone help improve speech intelligibility and the environmental listening function’s ability to detect and locate sound from previous generations of the platform.
1.
Observation:
Highest volume and widest frequency response to maximize hearing when the user is still (overwatch, hide spot, stop to listen, etc).
2.
Patrol:
High volume with reduced high frequencies to limit sounds such as footsteps on gravel, grass moving under feet, equipment moving on body.
3.
Conversation:
Maximizes the frequencies important for face-to-face communications while lowering the frequencies outside of the average speech band.
4.
Comfort:
Low volume and narrow frequency response to be used when in noise for long periods of time (tactical vehicle, air transport) where environmental listening is not prioritized over communications and overall comfort.
5.
Environmental listening off:
ComTacTM VI features the capability to turn the environmental listening function off, while not powering down the headset. This may be beneficial in high noise environments where the least amount of outside sound is desired to help with communications.
Natural Interaction Behavior (NIB)
NIB enables short-range, headset-to-headset communication in high noise environments, without the use of an external communications radio.
The NIB function allows for 4 team members to speak simultaneously, and over 60 people within a 10 meter radius to listen at any given time.
Audio transmit is activated by either a voice activated switch (VOX) for hands free operations or by push-to-talk.
The VOX switch is adaptive, meaning the threshold to activate will adjust automatically to the noise environment.
To help reduce user burden, a tactile button has been added to the left ear cup that allows the user to easily turn on or off the function / and switch from VOX to PTT settings.
